Yorkshire-based workspace operator WorkWell has acquired Aire Street Workshops from Leeds City Council for an undisclosed sum. The company plans to maintain the building’s commercial use while upgrading its interior, ensuring current occupiers can remain.
The four-storey, 22,979 sq ft property, originally built in 1875 as a cloth warehouse, features 30 individual units, communal spaces, a private road, and a small gated car park. It currently houses 50 creative businesses. The site was repurposed in 1981 to support small industrial firms.
WorkWell specialises in technology-enabled workspaces designed for hybrid working and productivity. The Leeds-based firm operates two centres in the city and recently opened its largest office development in Harrogate. It provides office space for 800 workers each month.
